Condition

Enamel dial ring and false ring to rear in good condition, glass missing from rear door. Vincenti 1855 movement is complete but would benefit from a clean. Case is in generally good condition but very dirty, minor edge chips to marble, gilding and patination appear to be in good condition. Candelabras are as the clock case. Please note that the date of this clock is probably circa 1865 as it is believed Vincenti ceased production in 1870.
